Having got up early morning and packed up our tents, we were ready to leave Stan's Field, and as we headed off, we soon passed Rodborough Tabernacle Church:
Both the big and small buildings looked impressive and quite old:
Have just read that the Tabernacle Church dates back to the mid-18th, being the result of some kind of evangelical Christian renewal movement.
One evening, while returning from Stroud town centre, we heard some gentle acoustic guitar music coming from inside the bigger building.
Having quickly skimmed through an article about the Tabernacle Church, nowadays, it seems to be trying to fuse evangelical Protestantism with wokeism (e.g. having non-heterosexual 'marriages').
Further down the street, we passed some interesting-looking dolls in a garden:
And a couple of smaller ones were perched on part of the dry stone wall.
Would love to know if the dolls have any deeper meaning or significance.
